The Austrians also believe that a pig brings good luck. They even have a saying, "Schwein haben" (literally, "You have a pig"), which means "You're lucky!" In Austria, even strict vegetarians need to eat a pig's snout on New Year's Eve, so pastry shops sell cookies and marzipans in the shape of this pig's snout. A special New Year's dish is prepared in Tyrol, the so-called chopped soup, which is not a soup at all, but rather a stew: pieces of pork, cheese, stale bread, fried onions go into a saucepan , and everything is poured with broth. It is believed that the more ingredients in the dish, the better: the more prosperity there will be in the new year.
